H
The speed of the hoists will only be significantly increased by switching to high-
speed mode if you have deflected the control lever by more than 70%.
S
Risk of accidents due to overloading!
Make sure the lifted load is no more than 50% of the maximum load according to
the Lifting capacity table (maximum degree of utilisation of 50%) before operating
the hoists in high-speed mode.
S
Danger of slack rope with a lightweight hook block!
If you switch on high-speed mode at high speeds, a light hook block will not be
able to keep the hoist rope taut if it is hoisted up high with a small number of reev-
ings and a large boom length.
S
Danger of slack rope with large number of reevings
If you switch on high-speed mode with a large number of reevings and without a
load, slack rope may form because the hook block is lowered too slowly due to
the high degree of friction.
